Abstract

In this prospective observational cohort study, 20 IPF and non-IPF patients, as diagnosed by a multidisciplinary team were recruited from the University College London Hospital (UCLH) between August 2021 and January 2022 using 2018 ATS criteria. Patients who met the criteria for ILD other than IPF, including those with sarcoidosis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, were grouped together as non-IPF. They were monitored over 26 weeks using the RADAR-Base mHealth platform. Data collection tools included: questionnaires, a Garmin wearable device, finger pulse oximeter and a NuvoAir smart-spirometer.7 In addition, participants underwent lung function testing in a hospital setting as part of their usual hospital visits. Patients were divided into two groups: progressed and stable. Progression was defined as a ≥5% decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) at6 months by hospital-based spirometry and/or death.
